#4275 (ok 4.1.8) Broken Link to php extension manual

[Dhananjay]

Broken link to php manual.

On the index page of PMA, a link of php extensions manual is broken. (See the image attached.)

I suppose it happens because my system does not have any php extension or may be it is not able to find it from configuration files.

I explored the code and found that the mistake is here. In my system it prints $GLOBALS['cfg']['Server']['extension'] as NULL. So link generated is broken one.
In such a case it should put some text like None or something in place of broken link.

I've tried solving that error. See here

Please give your feedback.

First, I would like to be able to reproduce this problem. How many servers are defined in your config.inc.php ?

I tried reproducing it a fresh clone of pma from github repository on a local WAMP stack. I am also getting "PHP extension" field empty

[Varun Agrawal]

I noticed $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; is missing from /libraries/config.default.php

It is causing this issue. Is this line removed intentionally from there?

[Dhananjay]

I've attached my config.inc.php file.

It does not have any mentions of number of servers, so it takes the default value.

@Marc Delisle : Were you able to to reproduce this problem. Should I issue a pull request for my solution ..??

[Marc Delisle]

Dhananjay: yes and yes.
